It cant be that BAD, just hold on to the steering wheel. Youll be okay at the strip.

welcome to high power FWD. Torque steer isn't strong enough to make you wreck just hold on to the damn wheel. The wheels can't move if you hold on to the wheel.

You have something wrong if you have that issue. You also might be on an uneven road and the grip transfer from wheel to wheel can pull you around. Also dont turn and accelerate fast.

shake weight. get those forearm muscles bigger and grip the wheel like a man, not some little boy who hasn't kissed a girl.

If its when going into 2nd are you sure it's not spinning and you unable to control the steer because of that.

I have crazy tq steer with my winter tires in 3rd and 4th. I have had it shoot across 3 lanes before doing over 100mph and had to back out of throttle. Tires and uneven road with grip and spin can make for a crazy ride lol..

So true. I refuse to face size by side unless it's a smooth highway.
